The Meghri community has a village called Lichk that has no young people. The village has a school but again has no students. Yet, there is hope for the future—if the mine opens, it will create jobs, attract families, and bring new life to the village.

"After 4 or 5 years, these last Mohicans will eventually leave, and no one in this village will open his doors during the winter. Isn't it a pity to leave behind this beauty, such a miracle, such nature? Who will take care of all this? Why should we leave? Where would we go?" says Arusyak.
